Dementia Care

What is Dementia?

Dementia is not a single disorder, but a group of disorders that have similar symptoms. A form of dementia can either be caused by an injury or a brain disease. Dementia is characterized by a steady decline in one’s mental abilities—typically related to old age. Memory loss is the most common sign of dementia, but there are other indications or warning signs. Some of the most obvious indicators of dementia include:

Impaired vision and perception

Impaired communication or language skills

An inability to focus or pay attention

Misplacing items more frequently

Because dementia gets worse over time, someone with the disorder will need more and more assistance as it progresses. If your loved one is living with dementia, it can be emotionally draining to watch their decline on a daily basis. We offer dementia care services to help take some of the responsibility and stress off of your shoulders.
